Dr. Thornhill did a TKR for me 10 yrs ago. The knee has over 144 degrees of motion (1 inch shy of reaching my butt) and works fine after 10 yrs of usage.... I can only rate my experience as outstanding in every way.

After my hip replacement I would go back to Dr. Thornhill for continued pain. He had me on some pretty severe pain medications for well over 6 months and still said everything is fine which it clearly wasn't. I called back to make another appointment because I couldn't take it any more and he had his assistant tell me that he couldn't do anything else to help me. Basically it was my problem and that I should figure it out. If you do surgery on someone, I personally believe you should follow through with them until they are healthy and capable of living a better life-the reason they came to you (the surgeon) in the first place. I'm bed bound now and am seeing another surgeon to help me undo his mistakes. He made a mistake during my surgery and it has cost me my job, years off of my life and my sanity... It's one thing to make an error. It's another to intentionally disregard a patients pleas to help him/her after you have made a mistake.

dr. Thornhill is an excellent doctor. He spent a lot of time with me and he is very caring and knowledgable. However my appointment was at 10:00 am and I did not see him until 1:00pm. He is extremely busy so be prepared to wait!
